*Hello! How are you?*

Hi my name is Jen, I am a Welsh artist and friend to all creepy crawlies. I create paper buildings, paintings and miniatures from my cosy studio in Somerset.
If you like to get in touch to discuss a commission, I would love to hear from you.

Our Little Home

We moved into our home about 3 years ago, when we outgrew our cottage following the adoption of our greyhound, Wally.

An Ode to Somerset

I moved to Somerset back in 2018. It took a while to get used to living in a small town after being in Cardiff for a good while, but I’ve grown to love the slower life.
